Maria Pilar Guerrero Contreras

Maria Pilar Guerrero Contreras is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Carlos III University of Madrid. Her research integrates computational physics and biology to develop hybrid models of biological systems, with particular focus on cancer invasion dynamics and tissue behavior.

Her research employs reaction-diffusion equations and stochastic vertex models to investigate how parameters like friction coefficients and E-cadherin dysfunction influence cellular processes. Current work emphasizes cancer dynamics and the role of vertex models in understanding tissue mechanics and disease progression.
